环腺苷酸拟似物8-CPT-cAMP诱导M2b型急性髓系白血病细胞系Kasumi-1细胞分化的研究

为了解环腺苷酸拟似物8-对氯苯硫基环腺苷酸（8-CPT-cAMP）对M2b型急性髓系白血病（AML-M2b）细胞的作用,以AML-M2b细胞株Kasumi-1细胞为模型,通过观察细胞生长、形态、表面分化抗原、细胞周期分布以及对四氮唑蓝的还原能力的改变,研究8-CPT-cAMP对Kasumi-1细胞增殖及分化的影响,并应用半定量RT-PCR和Western blot检测药物处理前后Kasumi-1细胞内AML1-ETO融合蛋白的变化。结果发现,8-CPT-cAMP（200μmol/L）可明显抑制Kasumi-1细胞增殖而促使细胞趋向分化,但这种分化不是典型的完全终末性分化,8-CPT-cAMP对Kasu-mi-1细胞内AML1-ETO融合基因及其编码蛋白的表达无显著影响。结论：8-CPT-cAMP对AML-M2b细胞具有诱导分化效应。

cAMP Analogue 8-CPT-cAMP Inducing Differentiation in the M2b Subtype of Acute Myeloid Leukemia Cell Line Kasumi-1

This study was aimed to investigate the possible effects of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) analogue 8-(4-chlorophenylthio) adenosine 3', 5'-cyclic monophosphate (8-CPT-cAMP) on the M(2b) subtype of acute myeloid leukemia (AML-M(2b)) cells. AML-M(2b) is characterized by the non-random chromosome translocation t (8; 21) (q22; q22), through which AML1 (acute myeloid leukemia 1) gene on chromosome 21 is fused with ETO (eight twenty-one) gene on chromosome 8, coding correspondent AML1-ETO fusion protein, which plays a crucial role in the leukemogenesis of AML-M(2b). The AML-M(2b) cell line Kasumi-1 cells were used as an in vitro model. The influences of 8-CPT-cAMP on the proliferation and differentiation of Kasumi-1 cells were evaluated according to cellular morphology, changes in cell surface antigen and cell cycle, as well as nitroblue-tetrazolium (NBT) assay. Meanwhile, semi-quantity RT-PCR and Western blot assay were used to detect the degradation of AML1-ETO fusion protein in Kasumi-1 cells before and after the treatment. The results showed that 8-CPT-cAMP (200 micromol/L) could significantly inhibit cell growth and induce differentiation of Kasumi-1 cells. However, it must be pointed out that 8-CPT-cAMP-induced differentiation in Kasumi-1 is not a typical terminal differentiation. Furthermore, 8-CPT-cAMP exerted little influence on the expression of AML1-ETO fusion gene and its product in Kasumi-1 cells. In conclusion, the 8-CPT-cAMP induced differentiation in Kasumi-1 cells. This results may provide experimental and theoretical basis for the breakthrough of differentiation-induced therapy extended to another leukemia.
